lt's AN Able Revenge.


Ever since Minister Manning's little
difficulty in withstanding the effects of the
Mexican ''mescal, there has been a great
desire among some of the scientific men of
washington for taste of the genuine ar
ticle. A club of scientific men decided re-
Gently to import lot OF the true stuff. and
a few days ago it arrived. New Years
Eve the gentlemen who had imported the
mesca gathered at the club rooms. They
tasted it. few of them doing more than
take small wine glass full. Next day only
one of the party made his appearance. He
Looked father the worse for wear, and ex-
planned his looks by telling the truth about
the experiment. He said the others were
unable to put in an appearance and added:
AS for myself. the time since Friday at
O'Clock p. N. up to now is a total blank
to me. If the Mexicans did mix the mes
cal for Manning, as alleged, there is nc
wonder the City of Mexico and the jockey

Photograph,ng Flying Gulis.


An example of the speed with which
pictures can now be produced is afforded by
photograph of a number of flying gulls
taken at Southport by local photographer,
Mr.. Malln. OF course animals in far more
rapid movement have been photographed by
MI. Muybridge in America and NJ. Marcy
in France, but these are produced by special
apparatus, and rarely give much more than

cruelty on the female of his kind as
the male, his last victim being gentle

"A Boston drummer made himself
rather conspicuous last week in this
very quiet neighborhood. He was
here with his wife last summer and
met a resident of East Burke who paid
his wife some trifling attentions that
so disturbed the drummer that he
came up here from Boston in the middle
of the week, spent the night here and
on the next day went up to East Burke
and thrashed his last summers &C
quaintance. This action is supposed
to satisfy the drummer's delicate sense
of honor.
